Raphael's POV:

It's been over a week and Leonardo has began to talk to me again. He hasn't been pushing me away anymore, which I'm glad he isn't.

But, he still has yet to say anything regarding his accusations against me of loving Mikey. I wouldn't break his trust again. I'm not that type of person anymore.

As I was sitting on the couch in our house, Leonardo walked out from our room and sat down on the opposite end of me of the couch. His eyes remained expressionless as they have lost their sparkle. His face seemed neutral, but more cold.

"Hey.." I began to start small talk, as if we had just awkwardly met. "I just wanted to say that I love you. I don't love anyone else more than I love you." I said, hoping it would help fill the awkward and silent atmosphere.

Leonardo's POV:

"i dont love anyone else more than i love you."

did he really mean those words? i mean, it sounded like he did...but my body wasn't allowing me to explain with emotion. i didnt have any emotion to show ever since our fight.

"raph. we have to talk about something." i said, looking at his mesmerizing eyes.

"i dont have any emotions anymore. i need help. please."

raph looked at me as if i was going insane. the last time someone in our family didn't have any emotions left was donnie. when april broke up with him, his emotions wandered off of his body and he got unbelievably sick. he almost died, but we managed to help him.

"look, you turned your emotions off after our fight because it was too many feelings at once. you couldn't handle it, so your body only knew one way to help. so it turned your emotions off." raph explained.

"the only way i can think of helping you is by doing something that has an overwhelming amount of feelings. but good feelings..." raph's voice trailed on.

i knew what he meant.
